Are you planning to lose weight? So the menu must be correct. What to pay attention to? How to make delicious and healthy food to lose weight? The menu of the week must be varied.
What to look for when preparing a menu?
Everything is quite simple. Products should be chosen fresh and healthy, not too fatty and sweet. The food should be tasty, but not too high in calories.
So, in the diet there should be meat and fish. But not too greasy. Both meat and fish must be baked, boiled or stewed. It is better to avoid frying. Meat or fish should be served with vegetables or herbs. Pasta with meat is not the best option. But what you need is meat with boiled broccoli or stewed carrots.
Of course, there must be vegetable dishes on the menu. There are many options. Casseroles, soups, casseroles, salads, stir-fries, appetizers. The main thing is that the dishes are not very high in calories.
Don't forget the fruits. Salads, smoothies, and light desserts will help quench your thirst for sweets and lift your mood. In addition, fruits contain many valuable elements.
Dairy products shouldn't be too fatty, but you shouldn't choose fat-free either. Cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, milk and various cheeses are useful and can make the menu more interesting.
Cereals make you feel full, give you energy and are great for the first half of the day. You can add various vegetables, berries, fruits, and nuts to cereals.
It is best to eat five times a day. Three main meals and two snacks. But you can make a menu in a different way. It is important not to starve or overeat.
